Gen Z’s favorite YouTuber Amelia Dimoldenberg is coming to the big screen. The “Chicken Shop Date” creator is stepping into a bigger creative spotlight: starring in and producing her own film. She’s developing a rom-com for Amazon MGM Studios, playing a journalist whose carefully planned life goes off script when a routine celebrity interview sparks an unexpected romance. For those who don’t know, Dimoldenberg has built a massive following on YouTube with her endearingly awkward celebrity interview “dates,” chatting with A-listers like Jennifer Lawrence and Andrew Garfield over fried chicken in London. She also recently did an acting stint as a journalist in HBO’s Industry, so her newest role feels like a natural next step. Her fans are excited for this new journey, too; One X user joked, “From awkward nuggets to a literal rom-com lead… Amelia’s manifestation skills need to be studied. Absolutely deserved!” (Variety, Parade)
